Valentines breakfast

I used to SO good at keeping the freezer stocked with pancakes. And then one day we ere out and I didn't feel like making a batch. FYI I make mine from scratch (food allergies…) so it's more involved that just adding water. Nothing is more motivating that a guilt ridden Mama (Regan had asked for months, and then finally gave up.), a fun holiday, and a morning house guest to put some pancakes in the freezer. I made a batch of pink and purple for the kids to eat, and then whipped out 7 dozen more for the freezer. Regan was SOOOOO happy.

I pulled out some holiday colored plates. And let them have a purple pancake picnic.

We watched Charlie Brown's valentine movie. Kaylee found the adults voices very amusing.

Fun and productive way to start my day.

After Kaylee's school party we came home and got ready to go to the Temple. We hit up a drive thru for dinner on our way out to Gilbert. The children thought the giant towel aprons so they wouldn't get their nice cloths dirty was histarical.

They tanked up and passed out. (post party sugar crash)

This little stud muffin of mine was being ridiculous. "Mom take my picture." And then it was pose, pose pose. He's is awesome.

Miss sassy pants herself walked a runway most of the way back to the cars. I should have grabbed a video….

And then our little buddy "tripped down". So sad. I watched the whole thing from the back of our group. Jon was closer, but not close enough to prevent the fall. And since the camera was already attached to me……

Regan wanted to see his sad pictures right away. This little face was the opposite of our lovely Temple tour. I wish I could have gotten a photo of their sweet little faces as they looked at everything, The joy, peace, and awe on their faces was really the best part. They knew exactly where they were, and were so happy to be there.

Kaylee insisted that Regan sit by her and participate in the party activities. He made out like a bandit with valentines from her classmates.

He decorated a giant valentine while the cookie decorating happened.

She had a blast decorating her cookie and eating WAY too much sugary goodness.

He bummed hard when he learned all the snacks where "ouchie tushie" and had about 30 seconds of pouting before her realized that there was a lot of candy in his bag.

Our first school valentine party was a success.
